What was supposed to be a time of celebration for Asna Tabassum 바카라 게임 웹사이트� the University of Southern California바카라 게임 웹사이트�s 2024 valedictorian 바카라 게임 웹사이트� has turned to disappointment after the university denied her the chance to give a speech at commencement over security concerns.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Over the past several days, discussion relating to the selection of our valedictorian has taken on an alarming tenor,바카라 게임 웹사이트� USC Provost Andrew Guzman said in an online campus-wide letter. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�The intensity of feelings, fueled by both social media and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, has grown to include many voices outside of USC and has escalated to the point of creating substantial risks relating to security and disruption at commencement.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Tabassum 바카라 게임 웹사이트� who is Muslim, according to a statement she released via the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Los Angeles 바카라 게임 웹사이트� would have delivered her speech May 10 at graduation. It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s not clear if any other commencement speeches have been affected by USC바카라 게임 웹사이트�s stated concern for safety.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I am both shocked by this decision and profoundly disappointed that the University is succumbing to a campaign of hate meant to silence my voice,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Tabassum said in the online statement. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�I am not surprised by those who attempt to propagate hatred. I am surprised that my own university 바카라 게임 웹사이트� my home for four years 바카라 게임 웹사이트� has abandoned me.바카라 게임 웹사이트�As tensions in the Middle East rage on, the deadly war in Gaza has yielded a dire humanitarian crisis while stoking angst across the world as supporters of Israel and Hamas advocate online and in the streets, many in support of a ceasefire. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Even though USC has maintained Asna바카라 게임 웹사이트�s position as valedictorian, the cowardly decision to cancel her speech empowers voices of hate and censorship, violates USC바카라 게임 웹사이트�s obligation to protect its students and sends a terrible signal to both Muslim students at USC and all students who dare to express support for Palestinian humanity,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Hussam Ayloush, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Los Angeles, said in an online statement.바카라 게임 웹사이트�To be clear: This decision has nothing to do with freedom of speech,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said the provost, Guzman. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�There is no free-speech entitlement to speak at a commencement. The issue here is how best to maintain campus security and safety, period.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�While this is disappointing,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he noted, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�tradition must give way to safety.바카라 게임 웹사이트�
